Their son, Wesley, was born in 2348. Jack recorded a holographic message to Wesley shortly after his birth, intending it as a present for when Wesley reached his eighteenth birthday. Jack wanted to make a series of messages, but only completed one. (TNG: "Family")

An unaired line from the script of TNG: "Family" would have revealed that Jack Crusher had several ancestors whom he considered "heroes". One ancestor fought in the American Civil War - on the Confederate side - in the opening battle of the conflict at Bull Run. Another ancestor died in the surprise attack on Station Salem-One.

When Beverly told the story to Picard, she started to say that Jack had done something in response to Wesley, but she did not get to finish the story.

The Crushers spent much time with Jean-Luc Picard, resulting in Picard developing an attraction towards Beverly. He never acted on his feelings even after Jack's death, feeling to do so would betray his friend. (TNG: "Attached")

A reference is made in an alternate future timeline that Jean Luc and Beverly did get married but subsequently divorced. (TNG: "All Good Things...")

Jack and Beverly may have both been assigned to the Stargazer at the same time, which would explain how they would both spend lots of time with Picard during his command. It has never been explicitly stated that Beverly was a Stargazer crewmember, however. She most definitely was not a part of the crew by the time of Jack's death, since Picard needed to bring Jack's body home.

In 2367, Beverly brought several of Jack's personal belongings out of storage and aboard the USS Enterprise-D, including How to Advance Your Career Through Marriage and the computer chip containing the holographic recording. She gave it to Wesley and he watched the recording on the holodeck. (TNG: "Family")

Apocrypha

In the Peter David novel Q-Squared, Trelane reveals to an alternate Jack Crusher that he only survives in one timeline of all the timelines that exist in the multiverse order; in other words, he is alone, compared to the infinite copies of his friend, Jean-Luc Picard, and his ex, Beverly Howard. Through a series of events manipulated by Trelane, this Jack Crusher goes insane and kills himself, destroying the only living version of Jack Crusher in all existence.
